President Cinco, a small giant

The weather hasn't been too hot yet. It still has been raining a lot. It will rain really hard for a few minutes then the sun will shine and it will be beautiful. Then it will cloud up and really give us a good downpour.
We are looking for another apartment closer to our area so we won't have to drive so far everyday. There is a new one in Capoocan that is right in the little fishing village where the District President lives. It is made of cement and painted a pale yellow. It looks quite large, especially in the midst of all the little nipa huts surrounding it. It isn't finished yet so we will see what the possibilities are when it is done. We have signed a three month contract where we live so couldn't move for another two months anyway.
President Cinco is a great man. He is so happy and has this huge smile. He is very short but is a giant of a man and can speak as well as any leader in the US. After serving a mission for the church he was going to go away from his village to find better opportunities for employment but he had a strong feeling that the Lord wanted him to stay there and help build the Kingdom in his small part of the world. So he and his family live in a Nipa Hut with all its accomodations. They need leaders like him so badly. He is the middle man in the fishing industry. I guess he buys the fish from the fishermen and sells it for them.
